You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Amistad also means 'friendship' in Spanish.

haha. I had to laugh out loud and steve's answer. Clever.
First and Amistad sounds like an intersection but where 1st and Amistad meet in Quemado does not have a corner. I couldn't see God there in Google either but that's the internet for you!
I think it is far more likely to be a Denver location - which is where the "west was almost won" - being near a number of locations where massacres of Cheyanne and Arapahoe occurred.
Google does show a place called El Centro Amistad (Centre for Friends) having closed on a corner: 205 Canyon Blvd, Boulder, CO. Curiously there is a sequence of streets from this intersection which are numbered but the road at the intersection is Pearl St - which would have been First St if it was ever numbered.
I wonder if it might have been re-named but known as First when The Fray members were growing up. It is quite close to where Isaac Slade and Joe King (core of The Fray) grew up - and went to school -Ralston Valley High School in Arvada, Colorado.
Just guessing - do I win a prize?

Google doesn't show any Amistad in Denver.
1st St & W Amistad Ave, Quemado, Maverick, Texas 78877 -- this is the actual reference
1st & amistad is a street corner in a border town -- Quemado Texas. I really think the song is in reference to someone with no hope (an illegal immigrant perhaps) finding hope.
Being from Denver, and also where The Fray is from, 1st and Amistad is an actual intersection in town.
1st & amistad is a deserted, lonely corner comprised of two dirt roads in quemado, texas; a small, forgetten town of dead trees and lives.
The point of this song is that sometimes in life there is no point. In the book of Job, the writer relates the story of suffering when there is no apparent reason. Job questioned what he had done wrong and God's response was that he had done nothing wrong. God is God and his ways are above understanding at times and yet he still allows us to question Him out of regard for our humanity. I had the same questions several years ago when my wife was diagnosed with cancer. She was the only one who knew what I was and what I was not and what I wanted to be yet I almost lost her. I did find God as I had many times before. His infinite grace allowed me to question Him though I did not receive the answers to my questions.
The Amistad was a ship carrying slaves from Cuba to a plantation in 1839. The slaves took over the ship, killed the captain and the cook, and tried to sail back to Africa. They were caught off Long Island, and imprisoned in New Haven CT. Here's more info:
